Reset Map2000 9th Ave S, Suite D509 BIRMINGHAM, AL, 35205 United StatesPEBsci, Inc. is a Birmingham, AL-based gene editing CRO company specializing in vector building, cell line engineering, CRISPR screening, and gene therapy development. The company was co-founded by Dr. Chao Li and Dr. Kevin Pawlik, who collaborated for over a decade at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) to advance gene therapies for genetic diseases such as Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) and Cystic Fibrosis (CF). Dr. Chao Li worked with Dr. Tim Townes at UAB to develop a CRISPR-based gene correction therapy for SCD, which advanced to the pre-IND stage and underwent an INTERACT meeting with the FDA. He also developed prime editing-based gene therapies for both SCD and CF. Dr. Li has extensive experience in applying gene-editing technologies to various fields, including cancer research, skin disease research, and disease modeling, for both mechanistic studies and therapeutic development. Dr. Kevin Pawlik, an expert in disease modeling, served as an Associate Professor at UAB before co-founding PEBsci. He contributed to the development of "Townes' mice," the most widely recognized humanized SCD mouse models in the world. By utilizing CRISPR gene editing, he engineered iPSCs as a resource for universal donor cell therapy and designed the world’s first humanized porcine SCD animal model in collaboration with Exemplar Genetics. Together, Dr. Li and Dr. Pawlik bring decades of expertise in gene editing, disease modeling, and gene therapy development to PEBsci, positioning the company as a leader in advancing solutions for genetic diseases and beyond.
The Contract Research Map is owned and maintained by Scientist.com. It was created to help researchers in the life sciences identify and connect with contract research organizations (CROs) based on geography.

From Argentina to New Zealand, use this map to connect with a CRO near you.
We believe that every researcher across the world should be able to connect with the thousands of global CROs that exist and have the opportunity to work together. Like many industries,the life science supply chain has been disrupted over the last year. But there are many other circumstances such as international customs regulations or sensitive shipping times that create limitations around which countries are feasible to partner with. Sometimes, finding a CRO based in a country that best suits your research needs is imperative. We hope this contract research map allows you to find the right partner in the right place at the right time.
